Question

Y-1=-1/2 (x-2) graph point and slope

Answer 1

The slope of the line
`m = -(1)/(2)`

The point ( x₁ ,y₁) = ( 2,1)

Explanation:

Explanation:-

Given that the line

`y -1 = -(1)/(2) ( x-2)`

Comparing y- y₁ = m(x-x₁)

The slope of the line
`m = -(1)/(2)`

The point ( x₁ ,y₁) = ( 2,1)

The equation of the straight line

`y -1 = -(1)/(2) ( x-2)`

2(y-1) = -(x-2)

2y -2 = -x +2

x + 2y -2-2=0

x +2y -4=0

Final answer:-

The equation of the straight line x+ 2y-4=0

The slope of the line
`m = -(1)/(2)`

The point ( x₁ ,y₁) = ( 2,1)
